How do I disable cache in IE?

On the General tab, locate the Browsing history section, and click Settings. On the Temporary Internet Files tab, confirm that Every time I visit the webpage is selected. On the Caches and databases tab, confirm that Allow website caches and databases is not selected. Click OK.

Go to Internet Options. On the General tab, under Browsing History click Settings. Select the "Every time I visit the webpage" radio button.

This doesn't "disable" the cache per se, but it should fix your underlying problem - the JS files should be reloaded every time.

Ctrl+F5 Should cause a full page refresh including all that cached javascript.

Occasionally though, you'll still need a cache clear, because even Ctrl+F5 won't work, for reasons beyond comprehension IE can't even get "refresh" right 100% of the time.
